Guy Hater
From New York Times Bestseller, J. Sterling, comes a sexy new STANDALONE romance novel.
Frank Fisher is quiet, pensive, and sexy as hell. He's also stuck in a loveless relationship, bound by a promise he made years ago. It's one he intends to keep, no matter the cost.
The night Claudia walks into his bar, both his life and his perspective are forever changed. She's feisty, strong, independent and everything he never knew he needed. She's also everything he never knew he wanted, and now he's torn.
Will Frank follow his heart, or will guilt and obligation continue to rule his life? Choices aren't always easy, especially when you're a man, and Frank's indecision may cost him more than he's willing to lose.
Excerpt
Once the
bar was cleared out and locked up for the night and the rest of the staff sent
home, Ryan started in on me. The little shit had been waiting hours to have
this discussion.
“Can we
please have a serious conversation?” He washed a glass as he spoke, but his
eyes met mine, and they looked almost sad.
When Nick
stopped what he was doing and inched closer to where Ryan and I stood, I played
dumb.
“What are
we getting serious about?”
“You know
what,” Nick said, but Ryan waved him off.
“Let me handle
this,” he whispered to Nick.
“Um, I
can hear you, you know?”
“Of
course I know,” Ryan snapped. “Now, listen. There’s something I can’t figure
out, okay? And I don’t want you getting all pissed off and closing up on us
when I ask you.”
I
groaned, wishing that Ryan would cut to the chase already and stop beating
around the bush like a fucking girl. “Spit it out. I can handle whatever it is
you’re too chickenshit to ask.”
He
dropped the glass into the soapy water and it splashed all over his shirt. Thank
God he’d put it back on after last call. “What’s the deal with you and Shelby?”
That was
it? That was his big dramatic question?
“What
kind of question is that? How am I supposed to answer that?”
Nick said
slowly, “I think what Ryan’s trying to say is, we can see that you’re not
happy. We don’t understand why you stay.”
I wasn’t
sure how to answer that question, or if I wanted to. I’d kept everything to
myself for so long, not wanting to burden anyone with my mess, but maybe it was
time to unload. I wasn’t good at asking for help, but maybe that’s what these
two were here for. God knew I’d do anything for either of them, and I knew
they’d do the same for me. I just hated the very idea of needing anyone.

ABOUT J. STERLING
I got fired from my last job.
It's true.
I know you're sitting there thinking, "Jenn, how could anyone in their right mind fire someone like you?" And I'd love to give you a good reason, but the truth is that sometimes being all sorts of awesome isn't fun for other people. They don't always tend to like it. lol
So I picked my pride off the floor, bought a laptop and started writing my first book. And you know what I realized? Writing stories that meant something to me was a million times better than working my ass off for someone who didn't really care about anything other than the bottom line.
My soul has never felt more satisfied.
My heart has never been more full.
I've never worked so hard in my life, but I love every second of it. I truly do.
It is SO worth it.
All of it.
Every moment.
The journey it took to get to this point- I wouldn't change a thing.
